Dario Amodei Calls to Pace the Frontier; Anthropic Trust Endorses Slowdown Plan
jackclarkSF · x · 2026-09-12
- Dario Amodei published a new essay, "We Must Pace the Frontier," arguing the AI industry should slow frontier development, with a three-part plan. Anthropic unilaterally commits to the first step: giving third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training.
- Members of Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust — Buddy Shah and Ben Bernanke — issued a statement endorsing the essay's approach to responsible pacing, saying the Trust supported the call and helped inform its recommendations, while stressing that pacing requires collective coordination across actors.
- A rare public governance-level endorsement of deliberately slowing frontier AI development.
